The Bible - How do you view it ?

[marks]

Maybe the universe is only 12 billion years, and 1 billion being equal to an hour.
I like to think about things like this, keeps the brain active.

They figure the age of the universe based on the distance to the furthest stars, and how long it takes the light to reach us. Of course, God stretched out the heavens, so that messes up all their calculations.

Peter tells us that uniformitarianism is false anyway. So they are all wrong.

Much love!

uniformitarianism

• n.
  The theory that all geologic phenomena may be explained as the result of existing forces having operated uniformly from the origin of the earth to the present time.
• n.
  The theory advocated by uniformitarians: the opposite of catastrophism. See catastrophe, 3, and catastrophism.
• n.
  The uniformitarian doctrine.

Uniformitarianism is a theory based on the work of James Hutton and made popular by Charles Lyell in the 19 th century. This theory states that the forces and processes observable at earth's surface are the same that have shaped earth's landscape throughout natural history.

It's even called a doctine.
A teaching..
doctrines of men...
Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

In other words, Uniformitarian Doctrine, allows no room for God's hands forming the world.
They can observe changes according to what they see. But they don't see the force or the process itself.

Cern comes to mind.
Trying to expose black matter.
There's a reason why it's black. It says leave me alone.
But they keep picking and poking...
who knows what the hell they'll release....

oh oh.. i just found my tin foil hat..
That's Racist!
haha

fossil remains tell stories of humans millions of years old.

No, they don’t.

Here’s chapter four of Darwin’s Enigma, which has interviews with evolutionists, exposing that there is no fossil evidence for human evolution:

To me the Bible is the inerrant Word of God.

It is alive.

For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 (as I recall)

@Wynona : Great post!

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, how do you suggest I deal with this? You want me to be blind? How do you reconcile the fact that the universe is 14 billion years old and Genesis says “one day”?

Who told you that? lol

I see that some of you here are not interpreting “one day” as literal but as millions or billions of years and that’s great. That’s the reconciliation I’m looking for. I had the same debate with a friend of mine last week and he interpreted “one day” as millions of years while also saying that ‘the Bible is concerned with conveying messages that God deems important, not a history of tectonic plates over millions of years’. That made sense to me.
